nah maintenance required is just a light for scheduled things that is preset...turn your key off hold the odometer button in click the key to 1 position (still holding it in) click the key to 2 position( still holding it it) and then start, but give it like 5-10 sec each click and it will go away

If you look in your manual for you car it will tell you what regularly scheduled maintenance is due at about 170k, that would at least tell you whats triggering it, but you might already know that, lol

Yeah my maintenance required only comes on for regular maintenace issues.. ie oil change, timing belt... If its engine realted or something broke, my check engine light comes on..

Yup^ thats how it works...the maintance required light means its time for oil change etc....by how many miles....when your check engine light comes on, then you need to get something fixed.
yeah thats wat i figured it was, i jus thought it was kinda weird cuz i changed my oil like 2 weeks ago. but i guess its just cuz its programmed in

Yeah mine comes on like every 5-6000 miles to remind me to get my oil changed... and I laugh cause its always about 2500 miles after I have gotten it changed and I am like its a little late aint it, lol

Its just a mile counter. Once you reset it, it will come back around 7000 miles.
yeah, i reset it , but another thing has come up to, today , its hard to tell what exactly it is but i've notices something to be like an oily substance im asumming comming from underneath the car i cant tell really wat it is, like the color or anything cuz of the rain so i pulled it into the garage to see if i might be able to tell
